*vanity* Michael Savage
06-20-2012 | Me

Posted on 06/20/2012 5:32:15 PM PDT by Kevin in California

I've not listened to Savage in some time (I'm a Levin listener now) and tonight decided to tune him in just to see what his take was on the current events such as F&F, the WH leaks, etc.

Well, to my surprise, he's talking about how to drink wine and how much he likes olive oil. Huh?

Does anyone really wanna hear this crap with all that's going on in this country with our lawless and out of control government?

Does Savage have any listeners left?

You start with bombast and then when someone suggest that you don’t listen if you don’t like Savage you claim the response is immature..... I will stop laughing soon.

Note I never claimed you listened to him regularly.

I’m glad he has done wonderful things for the troops. I respect that fully. But I also remember a lot of less than rational positions he’s taken.

Lets face it. Anyone who believes liberalism is a mental disorder, writes a book about it and then gows on air and discusses how proud he was of donating any ammount of money to a berking Moonbat Lord like Brown has some cognitive issues.

His highly diploma’d intellect does not seem to grasp the basics of cause and effect. Finance/support liberals=get liberalism ... which he claims to be (and I agree is) is ‘a mental disorder’.

Hello???? Supporting your ideological enemy is also a mental disorder.

No, I gave a point-by-point critique of his program in terms of its construction and content. That isn’t bombast.

Instead of being a stick in the mud why don’t you offer constructive, analytical praise for his program if you like it so well?

PS in case your memory’s short have a look at your own post #16. More of the same immaturity.

His $500 donation to Brown in a campaign years ago is hardly the “liberal” stance you suggest.

That was $5600.00 in 2006, a campaign that "Moonbeam" Jerry Brown had to win to be viable to be elected Governor of California in 2010.

Thanks for the clarification. I couldn’t remember the total but $500 sounded low. But I do remember sitting in my truck on lunch break with my lower jaw in my lap screaming “IDIOT!!!” at the radio.

Even so, throw in the ‘free’ PR Brown got by a supposedly ‘hardcore’ right winger supporting his candidacy and the damage that did/still does. I just don’t understand how any on our side can back him, excuse that or justify it. No, Savage wasn’t singlehandedly responsible for Brown’s election, but supporting a liberal is NEVER a positive thing.

Nonsense. Brown would have been elected governor again in California because it is California.

The election you refer to (and the amount is sited in Wiki but no where else) was for state attorney general....I remember that election...all candidates were dogs....I votyed for no one that year

And of course the tens of thousands of dollars he donated for Behanna’s defense fund count for nothing.

Mike Wiener gave Moonbeam close to 6,000 dollars just to get him elected to state Attorney General.

Savage voted for ultra liberal democrat Brown, you didn’t vote at all defending Savage’s choice of Brown as saying they were all equally bad (too bad Savage didn’t refuse to jump in), and I voted for MoonBeam Brown’s republican opponent that was endorsed by Tom McClintock.

Luckily the bad publicity from his gullible but upset audience kept Savage from publicly supporting Brown in 2010

Would you rather he talked about iced tea, or how marvelous Apple products are?

One of Weiner’s better moments:

I gave up on Savage (Weiner) in 2003.
He was humorous at the time. And he was playing one of my favorite Metallica songs (The Shortest Straw) for his intro.
But when he called Rush Limbaugh, “Too liberal for me.”
When he was only giving callers about seven seconds to engage in conversation.
When he actually accepted a position at MSNBC when I KNEW it was a trap.

Yeah. I’m done with Mike.

I hardly call anything I said a defense of Savage. I merely point out that you ae selective as all get out. You ignore what he has done for our troops. You ignore the more recent donations of nearly 5000 to Allen west.

I started off my responses by saying that Savage has never claimed to be a conservative. He claims to be an independent. Like him or hate him I don;t care. I listen to him sometimes, sometimes I don’t. I don’t hate him as you seem to. Perhaps the mote in your own eye is really a log.

I don’t base my votes on someone else’s opinion or endorsement.

Continue to hate on Savage it probably keeps you busy.

I’m not selective, he is a strong supporter of Jerry Brown and he has since been dealing with that getting out, I didn’t get into his relationship with the famous advocate of NAMBLA, or many other things, he is too flaky for me to get into much.

He has his devotees and no influence outside of that audience, he has found a money making niche.

Why does it rankle some people that he uses the name Savage and not his birth name?

Do any other talk radio people use a fake name?

My life is too busy and full to track down all the trash you want to throw. Obviously you hate him. To take his support of Brown for AG (and the quote from him was that socialist California deserved a socialist AG) six years ago as somehow supporting everything Brown stands for is illogical at best.

Don’t listen.

You never address any of the good things he has done (and continues to do) or the strong measure he has always made of borders, language, and culture.

I guess that you only like yourself because no one is 100% consistent or perfect in their lives. You and Obama have much in common

What are you going on about, and why attack me personally?

You gave an incorrect figure and I posted the correct one in post 25.

Don’t make such a big deal about it. He is what he is, Ginsberg was what he was, and his niche audience likes him (Savage).
